The SPEAKER pro tempore laid before the House the following
communication from the Honorable Silvestre Reyes, Member of Congress:
House of Representatives, Permanent Select Committee on
Intelligence,
Washington, DC, September 11, 2007.
Hon. Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker, House of Representatives,
Washington, DC.
Dear Madam Speaker: This is to notify you formally,
pursuant to Rule VIII of the Rules of the House of
Representatives, that I have been served with a subpoena,
issued in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District
of California, for testimony and documents in a case, U.S. v
Wilkes.
After consultation with the Office of General Counsel, I
have determined that compliance with the subpoena is
inconsistent with the precedents and privileges of the House.
Sincerely,
Silvestre Reyes,
Member of Congress.
